Mr. Alfred Bryant, Jr.

Alfred Bryant Jr. was born March 1, 1957 in Little Rock Arkansas to the proud and loving parents: Alfred Benjamin Bryant, Sr. and Dorothy Bryant. Alfred Bryant Jr. received his formal education through the Milwaukee Public Schools system and graduated from Rufus King High School with honors. Alfred Bryant Jr. was raised in church at an early age and knew Jesus Christ as Savior at All Nations Pentecostal Church of Holiness in Milwaukee Wisconsin where he was a member then under the great leadership of Bishop William T. Smith, a Man of God with profound wisdom. As Alfred matured in the Lord, it was clear that he loved God and he would challenge a person quickly if he felt the Word of God was being explained incorrectly according to his teaching from Bishop William T. Smith. At the prime age of fifteen (15), Alfred Bryant, Jr. was very ambitious and displayed excellent work ethics and stellar leadership. This ambition led him to start his own lawn mowing business and he established several clients. As Alfred Bryant Jr. aged, he then started his own painting business and worked a regular full time job on the side at John Oster Manufacturing Company where he was employed for over twelve (12) years until the company went out of business. In 1988, Alfred Bryant Jr. became gainfully employed at Cooper Power System (now known as Eaton Corporation) as a Machine Operator/Trainer. He was a hard worker and that with pride as he maintained his panting business as well. He expressed joy in anticipation of his retirement in the summer of 2016 when the company would be closing and moving out of the country. Alfred Bryant, Jr. was known as a person that would make you laugh with his jokes. However, when he meant business, you knew he meant business- all jokes were put aside.He was a true family man who believed strongly in supporting his family to the utmost as he kept family matters in order. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren. Most of the time, he did not know how to say, "NO" and stick to it, especially when he saw the puppy face or the sad stories his family would display to him. He absolutely loved them; a true family man. Alfred Bryant, Jr. was very proud of his many changing accomplishments. He adored his mother and mother-in-law to the point where they could do no wrong in his sight, what they said was golden. He loved his brothers and sisters. Unity was always his mission as he shared his time with each sibling in his own special way. His relationship with his uncle and aunts was unique; a bond only they each can explain. He shared his time with his many friends and -co-workers and they all grew to learn of his genuine love for them. Alfred Bryant Jr. departed this life on April 21, 2016. Preceding him in death was his loving and very supporting sister, Joyce M.
